Kate. It’s a movie on Netflix where an assassin is slipped polonium on a job in Tokyo and has a night to track down the ones responsible before she dies. It’s a fun movie.

4’33" is intended to be the length of the song, four minutes and thirty-three seconds. But if you read it instead as notation for feet and inches, it’s four feet, thirty-three inches, or six-foot-nine. And 69 happens to be the funny sex number.

Logan Lucky came out in 2017, and this scene is still relevant.

Even with the added costs of owning the home and upkeep, it’s only equivalent or just above rent, and that’s with the condo association fees and insurance. Even while renting I was stuck paying for utilities. And I’m highly aware that the roof needs replacing, given that we’ve got to replace ours within 5 years.

But if your point is “owning a home is more expensive than renting when you factor in all extra costs,” I want to again point out that most people are barely able to stay afloat. His point was that anyone can buy a house. Mine is that the money he thinks grows on trees literally does not exist for the majority of people.

I’m lucky enough to have been financially able to buy a home. I had help making the down payment, but we’ve now got a 30 year mortgage. My monthly payments are less than what I was paying for rent, less than the average rent in the city by almost a third. I got this place with two above-average incomes, and had the good fortune to get it during the COVID housing and interest rate dip, and I still needed extra help.

If someone is stuck with renting, they’re likely paying more than they would for a mortgage. They can’t save up the money because they’re already lagging behind, and the housing market isn’t coming down in price, and wages absolutely aren’t keeping pace. No one is saying a house would “lock them down,” they’re pointing out they can never afford it because they can’t even come up with the money to show the bank they can save because they’re already paying above the potential mortgage payments every month.

But you’re saying they won’t, not can’t, so what should they do to come up with the money? Start selling kidneys? 78% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, and that same link shows 71% have less than $2000 in their savings. So where exactly are people supposed to shit out your hypothetical $30,000?

It’s cheating since it’s already been done, but Edgar Wright expanded Mint Royale - Blue Song into Baby Driver.

In case you didn’t know, that’s actually a sequel to their other video The Stampede.

Treasure Planet has solar sails used as the energy source for propulsion for ships.

Currently it’s Electric Callboy, namely We’ve Got the Moves and Hypa Hypa.
